Elba Island - The most 'fearful of the rain' island in the world

With the growing economy, people have more and more choices to travel abroad, especially to visit beautiful cities.

For visitors, the desire to have an enjoyable experience, go to many places, and eat many delicious dishes is always a top priority. But everything can be hindered, even the travel experience is ruined because of a force majeure cause. That is the weather.

Elba Island.

It is really a pity that when traveling in the rain, the mood of excitement is replaced by disappointment and frustration. The obstruction by weather can be partly solved if the locality has convenient transportation. But in remote areas and "in harmony with nature", tourists naturally have to "live with the flood". 

A tourist destination can be underestimated by bad or erratic weather. But the Italian island of Elba is an exception. 

"Elba doesn't rain": It rains, tourists benefit

"Elba No Rain" (Elba No Rain) is the motto in the famous island travel plan. As long as it rains for more than 2 hours between 10 am and 8 pm, visitors can get free check-in. In particular, visitors to the island in May will be free of charge for the entire hotel bill if it rains during the tour.

On this island, if it rains for more than 2 hours, visitors will be free to check-in.

To enjoy this offer, guests must check-in at a hotel that participates in the "Elba No Rain" program or is on a locally approved list.

This ensures guests are in a good mood and enjoy the full range of hotel services even when it rains.

Many visitors will be affected by the bad weather, thereby giving bad reviews to the hotel. In this age of advanced technology and social networks, seeing reviews before booking is essential for long trips. Of course, visitors do not care about the reason why this hotel is rated poorly, but only look at the number of stars displayed.

The hotel is rated poorly because visitors have a bad experience because the weather is not worth it. This certainly lowers the image, affecting the hotel's revenue. Accordingly, "Elba without rain" is an extremely smart move to retain visitors and still ensure a stable number of visitors regardless of the weather or season.

Elba Island - an ideal holiday destination steeped in history

Elba Island is Italy's third smallest island, possessing rich mineral resources and unique natural landscapes. 

This is the place of exile of emperor Napoleon Bonaparte.

It is known as the place of exile of Napoleon Bonaparte (also known as Napoleon I, Emperor of France from 1804 to 1814 and reinstated in 1815) and still holds the place where he lived. Therefore, this island gradually became known to the world and became famous.

Claudio della Lucia, a tour guide on the island of Elba, told reporters: "Travel companies told us that weekend weather forecasts during the rainy season will lead to a decrease in hotel bookings, the number of hotel reservations, Check-in visitors reduce more than 20%".

The program "Elba Doesn't Rain" wants to provide a concrete guarantee that in the event of rain (which is very rare), visitors can still enjoy everything on the island without worrying about drinking. wasted effort and money.

"Elba without Rain" is a pilot program in May. With visitor numbers improving, Elba is also considering ramping up the program in the fall.

May usually has a climate that is neither too hot nor too cold, and also not too ideal for a vacation, so it is usually less crowded than the peak summer months.

The island of Elba is located on the Tuscan coast, one of Italy's most popular tourist areas.

Most tourists have to travel by boat from the coastal city of Piombino to the island of Elba. But visitors can also fly from Milan, Florence, Pisa and other major Italian cities because there is a dedicated airport area on the island.

Elba Island is loved for its beautiful beaches. Napoleon's exile colony is also worth a visit. Visitors can explore the island's mining history and ancient ruins, some of which date back to Etruscan times.
